Frankenstein: Two Hundred Years of Monster Madness
Two hundred years ago, on a dark and stormy night, a remarkable English teenager had a nightmare and changed literature forever.
But that doesn't tell the entire story......
The legendary tale behind the weekend Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley created Frankenstein is as terrible and fascinating as her groundbreaking tale of horror.
On the eve of the premiere of Guillermo del Toro's movie version, get into the Halloween spirit by learning the true story behind one of the most celebrated and feared movie monsters of all time.
Ambition, heartbreak, terror, desire, fame and infamy, beauty and decay - it's all there. A warning: this tale is not for the very young....or the faint of heart.
